The future is in God's hands. AMEN! This means the future is filled with fear and uncertainty for the wicked, sinful peoples and the unbelievers of God but with hope and certainty for the faithful and the believers of God. The faithful and the believers of God eagerly awaits for the time of the SECOND COMING / ESCHATOLOGY. THE FOUR LAST THINGS: DEATH, JUDGEMENT, HEAVEN AND HELL.   


Peoples are warned not to plan their time as if it belonged to them but to do what God wills in their life. God is working in our present time-space world; therefore, the present time is to be used for God's purpose and glory. The Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible speaks of God who exists eternally as well as man/woman who lives in a time-space framework. A key passage for the present time is in the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 -


What does a man/woman gain for the efforts that he/she makes? I contemplate the task that God gives mankind to labour at. All that he/she does is apt for its time; but though He has permitted man/woman to consider time in its wholeness, man/woman cannot comprehend the work of God from beginning to end. - Ecclesiastes 3:9-10 -


Here is the answer for those of you who talk like this: 'Today or tomorrow, we are off to this or that town; we are going to spend a year there, trading and make some money' You never know what will happen tomorrow: you are no more than a mist that is here for a little while and then disappears. The most you should ever say is: 'If it is the Lord will, we shall still be alive to do this or that'. But how proud and sure of yourselves you are now! Pride of this kind is always wicked. Everyone who knows what is the right thing to do and doesn't do it commits a sin. - James 4: 13-17 -


The fulfillment of time is an important concept because it shows God's sovereign control of time in order to bring His promises to pass. Only God knows the times and seasons for fulfillment. God's has indicated that what He promised long ago would be fulfilled. "Do you hear? Long ago I planned for it, from days of old I designed it, now I carry it out. - Isaiah 37:26 -


From Paul, servant of God, an apostle of Jesus Christ to bring those whom God has chosen to faith and to the knowledge of the truth that leads to true religion; and to give them the hope of the eternal life that was promised so long ago by God. He does not lie and so, at the appointed time, he revealed his decision and by the command of God our saviour, I have been commissioned to proclaim it. - Titus 1:1-3 -


In the New Testament, Jesus announced that the promised kingdom of God was at hand. Jesus continually stated that His time, had not yet come; it was to be fulfilled when He was crucified. In fact, when Jesus came into Jerusalem in His triumphal entry, He stated that Israel should have known the time of the visitation of the Messiah. Jesus' death was prophesied in the Old Testament and the fulfillment of this was seen in His death at the appointed time. - Matthew 4:17; John 2:4, 7:6-8; 8:20, 12:23, 13:1, 17:1; Luke 19:44; Romans 5:6; Galatians 4:4; 1 Timothy 2:6 -


The future and the end times are in God's control. Many references to future time are related to 'Judgment'. Daniel prophecy outlines the succession of world empires and this prophecy involved judgments. In fact, the Satan, demons and devils realize that they will face a time of torment in the future. However, the future will not be all doom, the faithful and believers of God will be exalted by God while the wicked, sinful peoples and unbelievers of God will face an eternity of punishment.


The future is in God's hands. AMEN! This means the future is filled with fear and uncertainty for the wicked, sinful peoples and the unbelievers of God but with hope and certainty for the faithful and the believers of God. The faithful and the believers of God eagerly awaits for the time of the SECOND COMING / ESCHATOLOGY. THE FOUR LAST THINGS: DEATH, JUDGEMENT, HEAVEN AND HELL. 


Second Coming refers to Christ's future return to the earth at the end of the present age. The Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible is filled with expectancy of the Lord Jesus Christ second coming, even as Christians should be today. A thorough study and examination of the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible, however, makes it clear that the Second Coming will be a climactic historical event. The Lord Jesus Christ would return in the same manner as they seen Him ascended into heaven. The date and time of the Second Coming is unknown, but the Lord Jesus Christ second coming will be personal, bodily, and visible. 


I am going now to prepare a place for you,

and after I have gone and prepared you a place,

I shall return to take you with me;

so that where I am

you may be too. - John 14:3 -


Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking into the sky? Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, this same Jesus will come back in the same way as you have seen him go there. - Acts 1:11 - 

 

Jesus replied, It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority - Acts 1:7; Matthew 24:35-36; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3; 2 Peter 3:10 -


Therefore, most of the believers may ask, what about 'Eschatology'? Eschatology is a theological term that designates the study of what will happen at the end of history, particularly the event known as the "Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." The word comes from two Greek words, eschatos (last) and logos (study) - thus its definition as 'the study of last things.' 


It is also define as the part of theology concerned with Death, Last Judgment, Heaven and Hell - The Four Last Things and the ultimate destiny of the soul and of humankind. Eschatology reveals that Abraham's land, ultimately, is the new heaven and earth and that Abraham's lineage is the redeemed community in Christ Jesus.


Eschatology shows how God's Redeemer will establish His kingdom upon a rebellious earth. The long process through which God selected a righteous group (apostles, saints, righteous one, and those whom God's loves) to serve Him on earth came to a climax in the person of Christ Jesus.


The Lord Jesus Christ first coming was to save. His second coming will be primarily to judge. The Lord Jesus Christ return will also spell relief to His faithful remnant. Eschatology shows that God's presence for the redeemed will be fully realized at Jesus' second coming, when He will dwell among all the redeemed in the new heavens and earth.


You see this city? Here God lives among men. He will make his home among them; they shall be his people, and he will be their God; his name is God-with-them. - Revelation 21:3 -


In the end times, a basic order of judgment will prevail as the conflict between God and Satan comes to an end. There will be a time of great 'Tribulation,' followed by the 'Second Coming' and the 'Judgment of all peoples.' Another judgment is portrayed in the Book of Revelation, is called the second death. Those who are judged will be thrown into the lake of fire if their names are not found in the Book of Life.


Above all, the Cross is the decisive eschatology event. In it the curse that brought God's wrath was reversed. Ever since, God has been progressively accomplishing His judgment against the forces of wickedness in heaven and earth.


Tell us, when is this going to happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered them, Take care that no one deceives you; because many will come using my name and saying, "I am the Christ" and they will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars; do not be alarmed, for this is something that must happen, but the end will not be yet. For nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes here and there. All this is only the beginning of the birth-pangs.


Then they will hand you over to be tortured and put to death; and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name. And then many will fall away; men will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise; they will deceive many, and with the increase of lawlessness, love in most men will grow cold; but the man who stands firm to the end will be saved. This Good News of the kingdom will be proclaimed to the whole world as a witness to all the nations. And then the end will come.


So when you see the disastrous abomination, of which prophet Daniel spoke, set up in the Holy Place (let the reader understand) then those in Judaea must escape to the mountains; if a man is on the housetop, he must not come down to collect his belongings; if a man is in the fields, he must not turn back to fetch his cloak. Alas for those with child, or with babies at the breast, when those days come! Pray that you will not have to escape in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great distress such as, until now, since the world began, there never has been, nor ever will be again. And if that time had not been shortened, no one would have survived; but shortened that time shall be, for the sake of those who are chosen. 


If anyone says to you then, "Look, here is the Christ" or "He is there" do not believe it; for false Christs and false prophets will arise and produce great signs and portents, enough to deceive even the chosen, if that were possible. There; I have forewarned you.


If, then they say to you, "Look, he is in the desert" do not go there; "Look, he is in some hiding place" do not believe it; because the coming of the Son of Man will be like lightning striking in the east and flashing far into the west. Wherever the corpse is, there will the vultures gather.


Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness, the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven; then too all the peoples of the earth will beat their breasts; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet to gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. - Matthew 24:3-31 - Mark 13:4-37 - Luke 21:7-28 -


The full and final revelation of God has occurred in Jesus Christ. "This is the revelation given by God to Jesus Christ." - Revelation 1:1 - The Book of Revelation depicts the end of the present age and the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. God is a personal Spirit distinct from the world; He is absolutely holy and is invisible to the view of physical, finite, sinful minds. Although people, on their own, can never create truth about God, God has graciously unveiled and manifested Himself to mankind. God has made Himself known to all peoples everywhere in the marvels of nature and in the human conscience.


The central figure in the army of God the King is Jesus Christ. John's first vision is of the Lord Jesus Christ standing in the midst of His Church with eyes like fire (all-seeing) feet like fine brass (all-powerful) hair like wool, white as snow (eternal and all-knowing) and with a sharp two edged sword coming out of His mouth (the word of truth). Indeed, Christ Jesus is "the First and the Last", "the Alpha and the Omega", "the Beginning and the End." - Revelation 22:13 -


In response to Jesus' prophecy that the Temple would be destroyed, the disciples asked when this would occur and how they would know it was about to happen. Because it was recorded in the Old Testament that the disciples/apostles believed that the Temple would be destroyed at the end of the world, when among other things, Christ Jesus would return/come. [Second Coming]


That is why, in the New Testament, the apostles, Matthew, apostle Mark, apostle Luke, and apostle Paul, apostle James, apostle Peter records the questions of the destruction of the Temple, and what will be the sign of the Lord Jesus Christ return, [Second Coming] and of the end of the age/end of the world/end time. Apostle/Saint John affirmed it in the Book of Revelation.


Apostle John has written down everything he saw and swears it is the Word of God guaranteed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, this is the 'Revelation' given by God, the Father to Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, so that He could tell His apostles, disciples, believers, followers, and all those who love God, the Lord Jesus Christ with all their soul, heart, strength, and mind, about the things which are to take place.


What makes the discourse a little difficult to comprehend is that the Lord Jesus Christ intermingles His answers to these questions. By mentioning these words, that is, Take care, Take heed, and Be warn, Be on your guard, Be on the alert, Do not be alarmed, and going into details, the Lord Jesus Christ provides a conclusion to the answer. Thus, we must be prepared for the Lord Jesus Christ return/coming and must not be taken by surprise.


"I, Jesus, have sent My angel to make these revelations to you for the sake of the churches. I am David's line, the root of David and the bright star of the morning. The One, Who guarantees these revelations repeats His promise: I shall indeed be with you soon. Amen; Come, Lord Jesus Christ." - Revelation 22:16, 20 -


Jesus left the Temple, and as He was going away His disciples came up to draw His attention to the Temple buildings. Jesus said to them in reply, "You see all these? I tell you solemnly, not a single stone here will be left on another: everything will be destroyed." And when Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives the disciples came and asked the Lord Jesus Christ privately, "Tell us, when is going to happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming/returning and of the end of the world?"


And Jesus answered them, "Take care that no one deceives you; because many will come using My name and saying, "I am the Christ" [The Messiah, The Anointed One] and they will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumours of wars; do not be alarmed, for this is something that must happen, but the end will not be yet.


For nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes here and there. All this is only the beginning of the birth-pangs.


For then there will be great distress such as, until now, since the world began, there never has been, nor ever has been, nor ever will be again. And if that time had not been shortened, no one would have survived; but shortened that time shall be, for the sake of those who are chosen.


Take the fig tree as a parable: as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. So with you when you see all these things: know that He is near, at the very gates. I tell you solemnly, before this generation has passed away all these things have taken place.


Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, no one but the Father only.


As it was in Noah's day, so will it be when the Son of Man/Son of God comes/returns. For in those days before the "Flood" people were eating, drinking, taking husbands/wives, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and they suspected nothing till the "Flood" came and swept all away. It will be like this when the Son of Man/Son of God comes/returns.


Then of two men in the fields one is taken, one left; of two women at the millstone grinding, one is taken, one left.


So stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming. You may be quite sure of this that if the householder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come, he/she would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break through the wall of his/her house. Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of Man/Son of God is coming/returning at an hour you do not expect. - Matthew 24:1-44 - Mark 13:1-37 - Luke 21:5-36 - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 - 2 Peter 3:1-18 -


Now, be patient, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming/returning. Think of a farmer; how patiently he/she waits for the precious fruit of the ground until it has had the autumn rains and the spring rains! You too have to be patient; do not lose heart, because the Lord's [Lord Jesus Christ] coming/returning will be soon. - James 5:7-8 -


To turn now, brothers and sisters, to the coming/returning of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we shall all be gathered round Him; please do not get excited too soon or alarmed by any prediction or rumour or any letter claiming to come from us, implying that the Day of the Lord has already arrived. Never let anyone deceive you in this way.


It cannot happen until the Great Revolt has taken place and the Rebel, the Lost One, has appeared. This is the Enemy, the one who claims to be so much greater than all that men/women call 'god', so much greater than anything that is worshipped, that he enthrones himself in God's sanctuary and claims that he/she is God. Surely you remember me telling you about this when I was with you? And you know, too, what is still holding him back from appearing before his appointed time. Rebellion is at work already, but in secret, and the one who is holding it back has first to be removed before the Rebel appears openly. The Lord Jesus Christ will kill him with the breath of His mouth and will annihilate him with His coming/returning. [Second Coming] 


But when the Rebel comes, Satan (creature) will set to work: there will be all kinds of miracles and a deceptive show of signs and portents, and everything evil that can deceive those who are bound for destruction because they would not grasp the love of the truth which could have saved them. The reason why God is sending a power to delude them and make them believe what is untrue is to condemn all who refuse to believe in the truth and chose wickedness instead. - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 -


But there is one thing, my friends, that you must never forget: that with the Lord, 'a day' can mean a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. - 2 Peter 3:8 - 


Since everything is coming to an end like this, you should be living holy and saintly lives while you wait and long for the Day of the Lord to come/return, when the sky will dissolve in flames and the elements melt in the heat. What we are waiting for is His promised: the new heavens and new earth, the place where righteousness will be at home.


So then, my friends, while you are waiting, do your best to lives without spot or stain so that He will find you at peace. Think of our Lord's patience as your opportunity to be saved: our brother Paul, who is dear to us, told you this when he wrote to you with the wisdom that is his special gift. He always writes like this when he deals with this sort of subject, and this makes some points in his letter hard to understand; these are the points that uneducated and unbalanced people distort, in the same way as they distort the rest of Sacred Scripture - a fatal thing for them to do.


You have been warned about this, my friends; be careful not to get carried away by the errors of unprincipled people, from the firm ground that you are standing on. Instead, go on growing in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory, in time and in eternity. Amen. - 2 Peter 3:11-18 -


The redeemed will be evaluated and judged by God, the Father, His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and will receive their reward of 'Eternal Life' and live in eternal fellowship with God, the Father, His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!


Jesus was raised from the dead, and the resurrection was, indeed, for the Christians; it was God's great grace act for the redemption of the world. During Christ Jesus earthly ministry, Jesus declared that He had even greater works to accomplish in the future. The Lord Jesus Christ declared that the raising of the dead and the passing of final judgement are of these great works. To resurrect or raise the dead and to judge the world are prerogatives of God, but God's delegated these works to His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.


The raising of the dead and the passing of judgement are associated with the 'Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.' (Eschatology) Both the present work of Christ Jesus and His future work dependent on His 'unfinished' work, that is, His earthly Life, and Passion, Death, Resurrection. This work will not be completed until the 'Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ' when the entire world will be united in Him.


In the Old Testament, Genesis chapter 3 shows God response to human sin. God cursed the world which He had just made. However, in the New Testament, Revelation (Apocalypse) chapter 22:3-4, God lifted the ban. This illustrates that the 'Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ' or 'Eschatology' is indeed, related to salvation.


Eschatology reveals the end of history and how God reverses His curse upon the world by separating the good from the evil and bad. The process that would eventually end with all of God's enemies in defeat. The battles of the end times are the climax of a long battles between the forces of good and evil that has been going since the beginning of time. In the end times, a basic order of judgement will prevail as the conflict between God and Satan comes to an end.


The Lord Jesus Christ's first coming was to 'Save'; His 'Second Coming' will be primarily to 'Judge.' But the Lord Jesus Christ return will also spell relief to His faithful 'Remnant.' The final judgement will be comprehensive in scope; it will include all peoples and nations from the beginning of the world to the end of history, as well as fallen angels.


After this I seemed to hear the great sound of a huge crowd in heaven, singing, 'Alleluia! Victory and glory and power to our God! He judges fairly, He punishes justly, and He has condemned the famous prostitute who corrupted the earth with her fornication; He has avenged His servants that she killed.' They sang again, 'Alleluia! The smoke of her will go up for ever and ever.' Then the twenty-four elders and the four animals prostrated themselves and worshipped God seated there on His throne, and they cried, 'Amen, Alleluia.' 


Then a voice came from the throne; it said, 'Praise our God, you servants of His and all who, great or small, revere Him.' And I seemed to hear the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound or the great roar of thunder, answering, 'Alleluia! The rein of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be glad and joyful and give praise to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.' The angel said, 'Write this: Happy are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb' and he added, 'All the things you have written are true message from God.' Then I knelt at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, 'Don't do that: I am a servant just like you and all your brothers who are witnesses to Jesus. It is God you must worship.' The witness Jesus gave is the same as the spirit of prophecy. 


And now I saw heaven open, and a white horse appear; its rider was called Faithful and True; he is a judge with integrity, a warrior for justice. His eyes were flames of fire, and his head was crowned with many coronets; the name written on him was known only to himself, his cloak was soaked in blood. He is known by the name, The Word of God. Behind him, dressed in linen of dazzling white, rode the armies of heaven on whites horses. From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the pagans with; he is the one who will rule them with an iron sceptre, and tread out the wine of Almighty God's fierce anger. On his cloak and on his thigh there was a name written: The King of kings and the Lord of lords. 


I saw an angel standing in the sun and he shouted aloud to all the birds that were flying high overhead in the sky, 'Come here. Gather together at the great feast that God is giving. There will be the flesh of kings for you, and the flesh of great generals and heroes, the flesh of horses and their riders and of all kinds of men, citizens and slaves, small and great.' 


Then I saw the beast, with all the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight the rider and his army. But the beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet who had worked miracles in the beast's behalf and by them had deceived all who had been branded with the mark of the beast and worshipped his statue. These two were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur. All the rest were killed by the sword of the rider, which came out of his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. - Revelation 19:1-21 -   


Then I saw an angel come down from heaven with the key of the Abyss in his hand and an enormous chain. He overpowered the dragon, that primeval serpent which is the devil and Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and shut the entrance and sealed it over him, to make sure he would not deceive the nations again until the thousand years had passed. At the end of that time he must be released, but only for a short while.


Then I saw some thrones, and I saw those who are given the power to be judges take their seats on them. I saw the souls of all who had been beheaded for having witnessed for Jesus and for having preached God's word, and those who refused to worship the beast or his statue and would not have the brand-mark on their foreheads or hands; they came to life, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection; the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over. Happy and blessed are those who share in the first resurrection; the second death cannot affect them but they will be priests of God and of Christ and reign with him for a thousand years.


When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive all the nations in the four quarters of the earth, God and Magog, and mobilise them for war. His armies will be as many as the sands of the sea; they will come swarming over the entire country and besiege the camp of the saints, which is the city that God loves. But fire will come down on them from heaven and consume them. Then the devil, who misled them, will be thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their torture will not stop, day or night, for ever and ever.


Then I saw a great white throne and the One who was sitting on it. In His presence, earth and sky vanished, leaving no trace. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of His throne, while the book of life was opened, and other books opened which were the record of what they had done in their lives, by which the dead were judged.


The sea gave up all the dead who were in it; Death and Hades were emptied of the dead that were in them; and everyone was judged according to the way in which he had lived. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the burning lake. This burning lake is the second death; and anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake. - Revelation 20:1-15 -


Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first  heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, and the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, as beautiful as a bride all dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'You see this city? Here God lives among men. He will make His home among them; they shall be His people, and He will be their God; His name is God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness. The world of the past has gone.'


Then the One sitting on the throne spoke: 'Now I am making the whole world of creation new' He said. 'Write this: that what I am saying is sure and will come true.' And then He said, 'It is already done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; it is the rightful inheritance of the one who proves victorious; and I will be his God and he a son to me. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and fornicators, and for fortune-tellers, idolaters or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.' - Revelation 21:1-8 - 


Nothing unclean may come into it: no one who does what is loathsome or false, but only those who are listed in the Lamb's book of life. - Revelation 21:27 -


Then the angel showed me the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal-clear down the middle of the city street. On either side of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the pagans.  


The ban will be lifted. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in its place in the city; His servants will worship Him, they will see Him face to face, and His name will be written on their foreheads. It will never be night again and they will not need lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will be shinning on them.


They will reign forever and ever.


The angel said to me, 'All that you have written is sure and will come true: the Lord God who gives the spirit to the prophets has sent His angel to reveal to His servants what is soon to take place. Very soon now, I shall be with you again.' Happy are those who treasure the prophetic message of this book. 


I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them all, I knelt at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me, to worship him; but he said, 'Don't do that: I am a servant just like your brothers the prophets and like those who treasure what you have written in this book. It is God that you must worship.' This, too, he said to me, 'Do not keep the prophecies in this book a secret, because the Time is close. Very soon now, I shall be with you again, bringing the reward to be given to every man/woman according to what he/she deserves. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Happy are those who will have washed their robes clean, so that they will have the right to feed the tree of life and can come through the gates into the city. - Revelation 22:8-10, 12-14 -


After this present time the faithful and the believers of God will live eternally with God and His kingdom. Although man/woman now lives within a time-space framework, he/she will live eternally. God who exists eternally will remove time and space, and man/woman will relate to God in an eternal relationship. AMEN! AMEN! ALLELUIA!

God bestows more consideration on the purity of intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves - Saint August...
